A Duck Pen

It has been a while since I posted. But visiting Maui does get you side-tracked. Here is a pen I made for a student graduating from the University of Oregon. The nib, center-band and top were turned from a black piece of acrylic to match the ribbon in the block I picked up from Woodcraft. Of course I had a few issues but the pen looks good and the fit is great. All three pieces I added fit perfect. I replaced the ink cartridge with a Cross brand so it will write better.



Still need to decide if I should make a box for it, or pick one up at either Woodcraft or the Rockler store.

I found a mouse to use as a prop for the pen, no significance, just handy.

Enjoy, but be careful of the splinters.
